Kendall-Dinielli construction consultant's experience and expertise have been built up over many years and across a wide range of construction industry sectors.

Our consultants fully understand a Surety's interest in limiting liabilities, achieving the maximum recovery and reducing final costs, and our Surety clients can rely on our background knowledge when we assist them to do just that.

Among the services we provide to our Surety Clients:

Affirmative Claim Preparation

Contractors often end in default situations because they lack the time, knowledge or expertise to make a claim for costs they are entitled to recover.  After the surety takes over the project, the claims are still valid.  Kendall-Dinielli’s construction consultants have worked with surety companies preparing claims for the recovery of costs that were due to the contractor prior to the default.  We have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of the surety, thus mitigating losses to the bonding company.

Claim Evaluation/Entitlement Reviews

Kendall-Dinielli can evaluate claims that the contractor represents as collectable and advise if the contractor is entitled to recovery for the claims.  Sometimes the pursuit of claims cost more than the recovery, and so Kendall-Dinielli can also advise if the pursuit of the claim is cost effective.

Estimate to Complete

Sureties need to know if the contractor has been appropriately paid for the amount of work performed and what the value of the work to complete.  Kendall-Dinielli’s consultants have the field experience, as well as estimating experience to perform this task.

Litigation Support

We can provide damage quantification, expert witness testimony, work with the attorney to devise a strategy for the case and provide assistance during the trial.

Contract Termination Assistance

With experience resolving over 100 contract terminations, K - D’s construction consultants are uniquely qualified to help sureties with contracts in termination situations.

Exposure Determination/ Risk Assessment

We provide construction and engineering risk management by  analyzing potential problems that may occur throughout the construction process  and successfully  preventing and mitigating costly potential delays and disruptions
